ABOUT THE ARTIST
Many events influenced Fabio’s artwork but none more than the traumatic events that followed the birth of his second child. His daughter, born with major heart abnormalities, had to face several surgeries to correct issues that could prevent her from having a future. Overwhelmed with his daughter's issues and surrounded by an emotional sea of sorrow from other parents in the same situation, Fabio drew. While his wife and daughter slept, Fabio wandered the halls of the children's care unit looking for a spot where he could sketch out his personal thoughts. From these thoughts a new form of creativity was born.
The doors to Fabio Napoleoni’s heart were opened for the world to experience. It took a traumatic experience for Fabio to realize what he was missing in his work, and it was emotion. He had all the ingredients to create but none that captivated the soul. With his new ideas and old sketches in hand Fabio added the last ingredient needed...emotional experience. With his vibrant and bold use of colors along with many of his characters, Fabio has managed to create an emotional value to his art that had been missing. His paintings could have a thousand titles, and every one would be fitting for the image he has created; but one thing is for sure, you will always find a beautiful heart in every piece of his work. A symbol of his love for his daughter...she lives today and will forever in his art.
